Welcome to the Prentiss County Genealogical
and Historical Society website. We are a non-profit organization
devoted to preserving the history of Booneville and Prentiss County,
Mississippi. Prentiss County was formed in 1870 when old
Tishomingo County was split in to the present day counties of
Tishomingo, Alcorn, and Prentiss. Our new county seat was
Booneville which had only been organized in 1861 itself, about the time the
road road came through our area. Please take a look around the
website and don't hesitate to contact us if we can help.
